Step 3: You will see a listing of existing account book in the login screen. Select which account book you wish to login into and enter your login detail before proceeding to login.

Step 6: You will be prompted with 4 options on how you wish to setup your AutoCount Express account book.

1. It is highly recommended for first time users who wish to learn more about AutoCount Express to select the 4th option which is ‘Install a sample account book’. This option will allow you to test the functionality of AutoCount Express with some data already preloaded for you.

2. If you wish to have a blank account book to experiment around or begin your accounting work, you may use the 1st option which is ‘Create a new account book’.

3. If you wish to connect to an existing account book, be it in the current machine or on another machine over the network or Internet, select ‘Attach an existing account book’.

4. If you have a backup of an account book you wish to restore into this installation, just use the ‘Restore an account book’ option.

Whichever option you have selected, just follow the instructions you are provided to complete the setup. When you are done with the setup (and account book upgrade, if the account book is not the latest version), you will see the main window of AutoCount Express version 1.8. Congratulations, you completed the installation (and upgrade) of AutoCount Express version 1.8.
